Going through high school without drugs or alchohol as a philosophical test?

i think that it good you don't give into temptation. but you say you want to "experiance life in the most real and tangible way" hello drugs and alcohol are real. i would compare the whole tangible thing with consuming to much sugar which could make you hyper and jittery. i'm just saying how can you experiance life if you don't try things. i'm not saying go out and get wasted but trust me it's a whole different way of life that i say if you never try you'll never know what it was like.
